The Islamization of the West is a long and complex process. One of the Islamizers’ most successful strategies has been to portray Muslimas who wear the hijab as courageous feminists who empower women by defending their choice to veil themselves.
Dazed is a British fashion magazine. It recently ran an article about Muslim women in France who have defied the official ban on the abaya in schools and sports. The author made it look hip and trendy and revolutionary to be dressed in full hijab, styling it as “resistance”. It’s strange to see this stuff featured alongside the celebration of Pussy Riot, but I guess the implied cognitive dissonance has somehow been resolved in the minds of the editors.
Fdesouche has an article with the full story (in French).
Mathieu Bock-Côté is a Canadian commentator from Montreal who now lives and works in Paris. In the following video from French TV, Mr. Bock-Côté discussed the Dazed article, and the larger controversy, in which the political elites labels as “far right” anyone who wants to preserve French culture and values. He refers to Collectif Némésis, the identitarian feminist group, which I have featured in previous posts (most recently here and here).

Video transcript:
| 00:00 | So, the first element comes from the Anglo-Saxon world. | |
| 00:03 | And it’s not just a detail: the Anglo-Saxon world generally considers that France | |
| 00:07 | persecutes its own minorities. France is the backward country | |
| 00:11 | of the West nowadays, the most violent country, so to speak, | |
| 00:14 | towards its own minorities. The USSR that would bulldoze its minorities today. | |
| 00:18 | So, if this is the interpretation that they give in the Anglo-Saxon world, | |
| 00:21 | the Islamic veil is not seen as a symbol of degradation, of the repression of women. | |
| 00:26 | The Islamic veil is seen as a symbol that we must brandish as a symbol of emancipation | |
| 00:30 | for these women, and emancipation for minorities. | |
| 00:33 | So, they veil themselves to emancipate themselves. | |
| 00:36 | They veil themselves to affirm their identity. | |
| 00:39 | They veil themselves to revolt against authoritarian France. | |
| 00:42 | That’s the first message that comes to us from the Anglo-Saxon world. | |
| 00:46 | The second element, which is not just a detail: | |
| 00:49 | I noticed that it is the flag, the French colors that were taken. | |
| 00:52 | The French colors have been taken, but they are Islamized. | |
| 00:55 | From a symbolic point of view, we can say that it deals with a claimed Islamization, | |
| 00:58 | meant to conquer France. “We will take over your flag!” | |
| 01:02 | “We will define your flag in our own way. Your flag will be ours from now on.” | |
| 01:07 | “Your flag, we will veil it and we will Islamize it.” | |
| 01:10 | We live in the world of Michel Houellebecq, but it happens in Great Britain. | |
| 01:15 | Then — it is not a detail — the militants of Nemesis have mobilized. | |
| 01:19 | They proposed a re-imagining, and what can we see? | |
| 01:22 | Well, there are women, in the spirit of French femininity, | |
| 01:25 | in the spirit of emancipation, for those who don’t see body expression | |
| 01:29 | as a terrible temptation for men in all circumstances, | |
| 01:32 | for those who can freely expose their own body without being in absolute decadence. | |
| 01:35 | The militants of Nemesis decided to turn the image upside down | |
| 01:38 | to mean: “That’s the French way of living.” | |
| 01:41 | “We are opposed to this symbolic impounding of France by this fashion magazine.” | |
| 01:46 | But people also say that the militants of Nemesis are radical, ultra-right identitarians. | |
| 01:53 | Aren’t they? —That’s what people say. —That’s what people say, indeed. | |
| 01:56 | But what I am realizing is that today a radical ultra-right identitarian militant | |
| 02:00 | consists, for example, in posing as a slogan: “Thomas was killed by barbarians.” | |
| 02:05 | Or something like: “French people, wake up, this is your homeland.” | |
| 02:08 | Apparently, these are the slogans that define the ultra-right, today. We are still somewhat distant | |
| 02:11 | from the classic definition of fascism. Let me put it this way. | |
| 02:14 | So seriously, the militants of Nemesis, their battle, on average, is to defend women’s right today, | |
| 02:19 | which are jeopardized, in certain places marked by the Islamization of the suburbs, we know that. | |
| 02:23 | There are places, noticed by everyone nowadays, | |
| 02:26 | where it is generally better not to be a free French woman, | |
| 02:29 | in France, in certain regions, in certain places, for cultural reasons, to say it politely, | |
| 02:33 | or for religious reasons, to say it politely. | |
| 02:36 | So the problem is that if that’s what the ultra-right is, | |
| 02:39 | it means claiming the right for a French woman to live like a French woman in France, is also that. | |
| 02:43 | If claiming the French way of living, claiming this basic, anthropological difference, | |
| 02:48 | which in the relationship between man and woman in France, | |
| 02:51 | in the spirit of the national flag, is considered ultra-right today, | |
| 02:54 | I have the impression that at the end of this year, we will all be considered ultra-right, | |
| 02:58 | dear Christine. |
islam is crap
They don’t think so!
Would these girls like to go do another Islamic “style ‘ of submission the female circumcision? Or what about child brides with 50 year old Moslem men? Or sex slavery , or ” ‘honor killing “. Yes there are a plenty of customs that Islam has that are not “ultra western” and different . None of them would be positive in my humble opinion ,but what do I know being a white straight Christian male living in the west . Embrace slavery, submission , beating ,and your female children that could be legally murder by your male relatives. Can someone give the upside to being female and stuck in Islam??
I can’t wait until we see the looks and whines of the feminaxi’s as they realize their mistake far to late to do anything about it. Priceless !!!!
Britain is now a de facto Islamic state. That is now daily becoming obvious. The “British” will convert en masse and embrace their slavery. The modern British are incredibly soft, ignorant and stupid. Expect to see native origin sharia mobs and riots in this lost country. In the fashionable parts of London, the boroughs of Chelsea and Islington are now openly wearing Islamic fashions and support Hamas. I expect a mass Molsem uprising over Christmas. Britain is finished. Betrayed from within by traitor, including s an idiot vaccuous “Church” and a totally bought up criminal class of morons. The rot started in the Foreign Office, among the Orientalists there.
Recently and without any reason I can discern on youtube shorts I’ve been getting videos by a nice looking muslim canadian family. The content includes things such as how to wear a hijab (beautiful material I do admit), do you HAVE to wear a hijab (oh no, no one can be compelled…) and other informative bits of living muslim. Some of it is poignant, as when the couple talk about when she miscarried. They seem like such nice people and then comes the Palestine must be free… not a surprise I suppose.
I wonder why this sort of content is suddenly showing up. Is it planting a seed in the subconscious biased toward islam?
Human nature eventually kicks in with a vengeance when the horror of islm is revealed. Those of European origin when push comes to shove love to eliminate all that vexes him when confronted by 3rd world savages, especially with diversity shoved up our backsides without our consent, thus Balkanizing us to a point of no return, no mercy and no prisoners policies until none are left. We live in really exciting times these days.
Moslems make great sales people ,they lying right to your face with pleasant smiles. When you “buy” their produce Islam and Sharia ,you only lose your freedom ,your materials goods of this world ,and your soul. It is all fun and games until they get the upper hand .
